[Intro]
Shadows falling in Ottawa’s night
Secrets kept out of sight
[Verse 1]
In a quiet town, a silent scream
Hidden pain behind a dream
A child’s voice caught in the dark
Their own words leaving a mark
[Pre-Chorus]
Lost in the shadows, longing for the light
Searching for justice through the night
Breaking free from the chains that bind
Hoping tomorrow, peace to find
[Chorus]
Hold on to the hope that’s still alive
Wanna see the truth, survive
From silence to courage, let it soar
Fear no more, break down the door
[Verse 2]
Harsh words and tight control
Torn between the pain and soul
A mother's grip too tight, too cruel
Breaking free was the only rule
[Pre-Chorus]
In the darkness, a spark ignites
Struggling to find the rights
Reclaim the voice that was lost
Beyond the pain, regardless of the cost
[Chorus]
Hold on to the hope that’s still alive
Wanna see the truth, survive
From silence to courage, let it soar
Fear no more, break down the door
[Bridge]
June came with a flame of change
A new beginning, rewired the pain
From shadows to a brighter day
Healing slowly, finding my way
[Outro]
Freedom rings in the air today
Justice won, shadows fade away
Standing tall, unafraid to fight
Seeking peace in the new light
